Celebrating 15 Cohorts of Leaders
Join us for a milestone evening celebrating fifteen years of leadership, community, and impact through the San Diego Leadership Alliance Institute.
Gather with community leaders, SDLA alumni, and the 2026 fellows at The University Club San Diego, one of downtown San Diego’s premier Social Club and Events Venue. With gratitude to The University Club for generously hosting the evening, guests will enjoy passed hors d’oeuvres, sweeping city views, and a vibrant celebration rooted in connection, joy, and purpose.
We invite you to come dressed in festive attire that reflects your culture, your style, or simply what makes you feel radiant. This is a celebration of the many communities, stories, and identities that strengthen our shared movement.
As we honor the leaders who helped shape this community, we also invest in what comes next. Proceeds from the evening support the next cohort of progressive leaders and the continued growth of the Institute.
